Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be calling former President Donald Trump after he was shot at at a campaign rally over the weekend, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday, as the Russian government accused the Biden administration of creating an atmosphere that led to the attack.

"We do not at all think or believe that the attempt to eliminate presidential candidate Trump was organized by the current government, but the atmosphere that this administration created during the political struggle, the atmosphere around candidate Trump provoked what America is faced with today," Peskov said on Sunday.

Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his sympathies to Trump, according to a statement from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while The Global Times, a newspaper owned by the country's ruling Communist Party, published several editorial articles quoting Chinese academics who said the U.S. was becoming increasingly polarized and at risk of a potential civil war.

“potential civil war“

Chinese are rarely this candid.

A potentially second US civil war would be extremely damaging to China. They know this.

Only 40% of Americans, 30% of Europeans, and 99% of rest of the world agrees with Chinas assessment.

Both Putin and Xi Jinping are expressing more humanity and political savvy than anyone in the Democrat party. As I’ve said numerous times before, Biden is far more dangerous to Americans than Putin.

Putin is asking to negotiate with Biden to establish peace in the Ukraine, because Putin doesn't consider Zelensky legitimately president since his term expired and Zelensky canceled elections. Also, it's really Biden's regime standing in the way of peace. What's more important to Putin - representing Russia's interests or the USA's interests right now?

So Russia wants peace and hinting that Biden is an assassin won't help that effort.

Biden kept escalating his rhetoric against Trump, claiming that Trump and his supporters “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” while warning that “equality and democracy are under assault.”

Biden’s X account was full of such language.

Biden even used the threatening phrase “putting Trump in the crosshairs”-——
meaning being aimed at by a gun, such as a rifle that has an aiming device with crosshairs.

Crosshairs are a pair of fine wires or lines crossing at right angles.....
the focus of a gun sight, for use in positioning and aiming at a target.

What the foreign powers saw, in addition to the strength of Trump, is that his supporters are Americans. Not the flimsy, effeminate Democrat types but the backbone of this country. Note they didn’t run screaming from the venue, they stood rock solid waiting to see if our leader was ok and shouted in triumph when Trump pumped his fist in the air. These are the Americans who own 90% of the 400 million guns, the kind of people who furnish most of our fearless military. Those foreign powers were not truly aware that kind of American still existed. They are aware now.
